I agree with Havoc. I don't trust any army filled with people who
want to be there.
Seriously though, when I spent a year in Israel I initially found it frightening to see soldiers with M16s walking around everywhere. But pretty soon you realise that they're normal people, just like my cousins who all went through the army. So eventually it becomes normal to be sitting on the bus and have to ask the soldier next to you to move his rifle because it keeps on bumping into you...
Well maybe not
normal, but not quite as intimidating as it had been.
